Package: okular Version: 4:4.4.5-2 Severity: wishlist
In Unix, all window managers allow you to choose something like "focus under mouse" vs. "click to focus". Okular (and any number of other programs) seems always to use "click to focus" to select between e.g. the navigation frame and the document frame. This leads to surprises when a habituated user clicks in the TOC to go to a section within a document, then moves the mouse to the document and starts pressing PgDown to scroll. I suppose the "right" way to do this would probably be to ask the window manager for the user's preference, but AFAIK there's no window manager standard for exporting this feature. Would it be possible to add to Okular one of the following? 1) Ask whether a couple of the most popular window managers are running, and if it's one you recognise, use its focus preference, and if it's not, go on to (2)? 2) Add the option in Settings? Omega) Develop a standard that would let window managers export this information. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages okular depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-9 GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-2 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-2 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-2 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libkparts4 4:4.4.5-2 the Framework for the KDE Platform ii libkpty4 4:4.4.5-2 the Pseudo Terminal Library for th ii libkutils4 4:4.4.5-2 various utility classes for the KD ii libokularcore1 4:4.4.5-2 libraries for the Okular document ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 the core library of the Phonon mul ii libpoppler-qt4-3 0.12.4-1.2 PDF rendering library (Qt 4 based ii libqca2 2.0.2-1 libraries for the Qt Cryptographic ii libqimageblitz4 1:0.0.6-2 QImageBlitz image effects library ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-svg 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 SVG module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libspectre1 0.2.6-1 Library for rendering PostScript d ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii phonon 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 metapackage for the Phonon multime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime okular recommends no packages.
